Great, incomparable, charming actress! These are not all the epithets that come to mind when recalling Lyudmila Gurchenko. It seems that the life of a brilliant lady was cloudless, but this is not so. Indeed, for the actress, long-term oblivion is a difficult test. But let's talk about everything in order.
Gurchenko's biography begins back in 1935, when on November 12 she was born in the city of Kharkov. Lyudmila’s mother was from a noble family, and her father, on the contrary, came from a simple hired family. However, this did not prevent him from becoming a professional musician. The girl followed in the footsteps of her father - she graduated from music school.
The beginning of the creative path
In 1953, Lyusya completed her studies at a comprehensive school, and then went from Kharkov to Moscow to enter VGIK. In the capital, the biography of Gurchenko was replenished with a significant fact - Tamara Makarova and Sergey Gerasimov took the girl to their course . After graduating, the future actress began to work in the Theater-Studio of the film actor.
Not everyone knows that Lyudmila Markovna made her film debut in the film “The Road of Truth”, which was released in 1956. But the famous actress was made by a film of the then also young Eldar Ryazanov's “Carnival Night”, which was first shown in the same year. The film was a phenomenal success, and Lena Krylova performed by L. Gurchenko was instantly recognized and loved by the whole country. A year later, the actress starred in the film "Girl with a Guitar", which was also quite popular, but after that for many years Lyudmila was not taken to the main roles.
Temporary oblivion
What is the reason for this is not known for certain. Rumor has it that almost the oblivion of the actress happened due to the fact that she rejected the courtship of a senior official. Others believe that the reason for the unwritten ban on shooting was that the girl began to earn her living by creative meetings with the audience, which in those years was not encouraged and was considered an undesirable extra part-time job. For several years she only occasionally starred in minor roles.
"Rebirth" in the cinema
Gurchenko was lucky to show her all-round talent again in 1972, when she participated in the filming of the film “Tobacco Captain”. Then, already in 1974, the actress brilliantly played in The Straw Hat, and in 1976 in the film Mom. The children who starred with Lyudmila Markovna in Mama spoke very warmly about her. They said that she helped them enter the role and communicated spiritually and kindly.
Further, the biography of Gurchenko talks about another success, of course, not the last. We are talking about the musical film "Sky Swallows", where she played prima Karina. After this role, the viewer was finally convinced how gifted he was . After all, she not only brilliantly performed her roles, but she herself danced and sang beautifully.
Gurchenko’s creative biography is rich and rich. What is Love and Doves worth! Her phrase: “Lyudk, but Lyudk ?!” for a long time it will be heard on the lips of many ... Films with Lyudmila Gurchenko are still watched with pleasure by millions of viewers.
